Providence St. Peter Technical - Positive Steps
/
Last week on August 14, we had our first bargaining date with Providence for our contract. Both sides came to the table prepared and we had deep discussions with management on many topics including retention and recruitment, new employee orientation, training and precepting, equity and nondiscrimination in the workplace, and how we can build trust between the Hospital and caregivers. Our next bargaining dates are September 4 and 18. On these dates we will be discussing the changes to the Aetna health care network along with other economic proposals.
"This week we shared our hopes that negotiations will build more trust and transparency with management and that the Hospital will make meaningful commitments towards retention. It was the beginning of a positive step towards building a solid contract for our unit."
